These two represent many "firsts" for me . . . first bolstered scales, first radiused scales, first etched finish.
Specs:
-1/4" O1 steel
-8" OAL
-4" blade
-Flat ground with very slight curve to the edges
-Etched/Tumbled finish
-G10 scales - one has black w/ OD bolsters and coyote liners, the other has coyote w/black/green bolsters and OD liners
Thanks for looking!
Just remember what old Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big old storm right square in the eye and he says "Give me your best shot pal. I can take it."
Nice work brotha.

Clean work bud. You've come a long way in a short time.
Very nice, I like the look of these very much. How do they feel in hand?
Thank you for all of the kind words!
I'm sure my progress has nothing to do with the 42.7 questions I ask you every week!!
They actually feel really nice. These were part of my first batch of karambits, and I fully expected there to be revisions needed. But they came out so well, I don't think I'll be changing much on the next batch. These were made with 1/4" stock, which I like, but I'll likely make the next batch out of thinner stock.
Here's a comparison shot. Emerson CQC-7, Hatcher Karambit, Olexey FOS, Hatcher Karambit, Spyderco Manix.

Very fine work. Clean design, solid materials, rugged and functional.
Impressive work. Look pretty darn clean all the way around. Would never know those two knives were your first at anything.
Love the work on those blades Shawn. I second moving with thinner stock. Keep it up!

Those are sick! I WANT ONE!
I think they are perfect as far as thickness, my only suggestion would be to thin the scales a bit or texturize them a bit. But that is just a preference.
great work
Dang, now there's a knife I can really dig! I am not much for the traditional Karambit shape, but that looks like it could make an excellent general-use knife as well as a defensive tool. A slightly smaller version would make an excellent EDC, I think.
I've never seen that Wharncliffe / 'Bit combination before, but I think I like it!
